1. SNW. It takes the best aspects of the Big Three classic Treks, and adds modern VFX.
2. PRO. Very close silver here. Yes, it's for kids... but it's TREK! Ever wonder how Kate Mulgrew would fare in a competently run series? Wonder no more.
3. LD. It's goofy, reading like a fanfiction parody... but I love those.
4. ST. Mixed, but some good stuff here.
5. PIC. This was dark a lot, and I had to grind through the seasons... but it did try to leave us in a bright spot.
6. DIS. Couldn't get through this one.
 
My personal ranking:
Prodigy - Kids show or not, this feels like the project embracing everything Trek should ideally be.
Lower Decks - A love letter to Trek written by people who get that the sacred cow can stand to be laughed at on occasion.
SNW - Started strong, but the second season felt a lot more timid than the first and the Gorn are a huge failure point for me.
Discovery - Improved as time went on, but never quite felt like it found its identity.
Picard - There were things I liked here, but overall this was a series with very little respect for the viewer's time or intelligence.
 
I checked the thread again to see if there'd been a radical change of fortunes like we keep seeing in the epic Dr Crusher vs Dr Pulaski poll over in the TNG forum... but no, it all seems pretty much like I left it.

I'm a little surprised to see Picard in last place, even after that last season. I guess season 2 really did inflict too much damage. And even though Prodigy was the most recent series and the most vivid in memory it only has half the votes of the mighty Strange New Worlds. Possibly because only half as many people saw it, but I guess we just don't know.
 
Star Trek Prodigy is my favorite. Whether or not it's the best is subjective.

Ranking them

Prodigy
Lower Decks
Strange New Worlds
Short Treks
Picard
Discovery
Very Short Treks (I thought this was an insult to my intelligence and whoever thought this was a good idea I really want to have a conversation with, or they should seek medical counseling).
